I hope WCW does a Thanksgiving Thunder.

 

[MC Safety]

Man I forgot how good Honky Tonk Man's theme was.

You ought to hear him sing the Dusty Rhodes blues.

 

[Kaladin]

Why do wrestling companies have a thing for embarassing holiday celebrations?

 

[SoulPlaya]

god those legs

smh.

 

[funkystudent]

Why do wrestling companies have a thing for embarassing holiday celebrations?

Well its that or let the wrestlers take the holidays off and thats not gonna happen.

 

[strobogo]

Because every show has to have holiday themed episodes. Wrasslin is no different.

Yeah, but wrasslin always does the most embarrassing thing they can think of with holiday celebrations.

 

[somedevil]

Smackdown was taped on Tuesday so they got the holiday off. TNA taped there thanksgiving show a week ago. So both companies given them this holiday off. The only people working are people in retail.

Wrasslin usually does the most embarrassing things they can think of for everything. Why would holidays be any different?

 

[Reneledarker]

Almost time for TNA.

The main event is team Angle vs team Roode in an elimination match, should be great.

 

[TheWarrior]

Home from turkey day just in time for Impact

 

[somedevil]

Man, Dixie is even taller than Spud. Also, find it funny that Party Marty is wrestling tanahashi in England while Spudd is Dixie stooge.

 

[TheWarrior]

Is Dixie going for the clueless owner who doesn't know anything about the business she runs angle?

 

[Ithil]

Well, that's another week of this theme being in my head.

 

[Kaladin]

Steam has been kind to me so far. Absolutely nothing is on sale that I want.

 

[Reneledarker]

Curry Man!!!

 

[strobogo]

Happy Thanksgiving. Here are gifs of Goldberg murdering Kanyon.

 

[Alucard]

Anyone have a working stream for Impact? My usual one is out.

 

[somedevil]

You can't wrestle chants.

 

[Alucard]

Found a stream. How has Impact been in the first 20 mins in your opinion, GAF? Reading results on prowrestling.net. Curry Man?...Daniels?...

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

I passed on both and got a Wii U instead.

I didn't have a Wii either so I get to experience those games as well.

CAN'T WAIT.

ME TOO

WII U BROTHERS

 

[TheWarrior]

Say what you will but I like the idea of them bringing in enhancement talent for EC3 every week. They should get some heel jobbers and bring a new babyface up this way too.

 

[Ithil]

Well EC3 is basically the only young talent they're pushing right now, so it's something.

Anderson teased A8's burial. Dixie cut a shitty promo, Curryman sold for EC3 and that's it so far. I think the main event is a

survivor series

elimination match

I have no idea what I just saw.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Was it worse than this?

I watched an episode of ROH TV today, and it was mostly kinda boring, but it could be that I'm not invested in any of those guys. Zack Bowen wrestled Matt Taven, Jay Brisco faced Silas Young, and Eddie Edwards faced Jay Lethal. No one really stood out to me, though Lethal/Edwards was okay. I like that they have all the vod packages and promos, gets me up to speed, but man Adam Cole seems like such an uncharismatic talker. Jimmy Jacobs too, kinda. I think I'd probably watch it again, but it's no NXT

Speaking of, I took advantage of ROH's 35% off DVD sale and ordered their El Generico DVD. Sami got me too hype

I like how they're building him. He's going to be confronted by

Sting

eventually.

Sam Shaw's coming in soon, and once AJ comes back, I expect a bit of a new talent initiative to kick into gear. TNA needs to start thinking past Angle, Sting, Bully, Daniels, etc. within the next 3-5 years.

You should've been watching the three weeks prior. They pieced out their Glory by Honor PPV into three separate TV episodes, and they were all great. Two weeks ago had a match of the year contender with Roderick Strong vs. Paul London.

I haven't watched this week's episode yet, but I'll probably catch it tomorrow evening. Watching Impact tonight.

Somebody better splice that in with something later. lol

Daniels is already in a good spot, really, the show isn't built on him and he's still a top performer in his midcard spot. The rest definitely though.

 

[jobber]

annoying DJ is the greatest gimmick ever in wrestling

 

[Alucard]

NORV FERNUM AND DEWEY BARNES ARE THE FUTURE. PUSH THEM.

LOL @ Zema Ion still spinning annoying stuff during the promo. I'm down with this gimmick. I laugh more each time he does that annoying sound.

 

[strobogo]

The EC3 push reminds of the Jason Jett push in 2001 WCW.



STING REACTION GIFS!

 

[Ithil]

I think AJ has thicker arms than that guy has legs.

I do like Paul London. I'll give some of it a look.

As long as they use him to put EC3 over. He will be a good heel plus he has the physique

 

[Alucard]

Bromans referencing Arrested Development. Haha. This segment is typical Thanksgiving shlock, but I'm entertained.

 

[jobber]

I shouldn't be enjoying this but the Instant Replay shit is lol

 

[Alucard]

I do like Paul London. I'll give some of it a look.

ROH TV is a mixed bag sometimes, but you're usually guaranteed at least one really good match in 50 minutes of commercial-free video. I think they're going through a pretty good period right now, tbh. The problem is that they can't really show too many stories each week with only a 50 minute show.

The most glorious post of all time.

You forgot this one though

Was Crow Sting actually good in WCW? My memory's foggy about that period. I just remember him hanging out in the rafters a lot and pointing his bat at people.

Sure, he was pretty novel and well booked. Until Starrcade 1997, then it went to hell.

I wonder if Triple H is simulating sex with a mannequin in the next room over in the funeral home.

 

[Alucard]

Okay, so they're going the comedy route with the Aces and Eights funeral. Kind of a weird vibe considering how serious the group was, but taken out of context, this is oddly funny.
